Books that close
clean, and on time.
Late, messy books make every other finance decision late and messy. We run the monthly close, receivables, payables, payroll coordination and cash — and hand the numbers to the CFO and FP&A work on a fixed day each month, so the forecast, the board pack and the bank all read from the same ledger.
One close,
four outputs.
The close is not the goal. The goal is what leaves the close: a reconciled ledger, a management report someone reads, a cash view that matches the bank, and a file an auditor can open.
Six things we run
so you don't have to.
Engaged on their own or as the base layer of a full finance function. Every piece has an owner, a due date and a definition of done.
Monthly Close
Reconciliations, accruals, prepayments, fixed assets, revenue. Closed on a calendar you can plan around, with a checklist your team can see.
Receivables & Payables
Invoices out on time and chased on a schedule. Bills approved, coded and paid on terms. Ageing reports that someone actually reads.
Cash Management
Daily cash position, weekly 13-week forecast, payment runs sized against it. Cash decisions made before they become urgent.
Payroll Coordination
Inputs, approvals and postings handled with your payroll provider in each country you employ people. Reconciled to the ledger every month.
Management Reporting & KPIs
Financials vs budget and prior, the KPIs that matter, variance commentary. Same format every month, so trends are visible and surprises are early.
Audit-Ready Books
Documented support for every balance. A clean chart of accounts. Books an auditor, investor or acquirer can walk through without a translator.
Where the numbers
go next.
Accounting is the base of the stack, not the whole stack. Clean books on a fixed day are what make the strategic work possible — and what make it fast.
Cash, runway, capital
The reconciled cash position and the 13-week forecast feed runway planning, fundraising prep and the capital plan. No re-keying, no second set of numbers.
Fractional CFO ↗Model, budget, reforecast
Actuals flow into the driver-based model on close day. Variance analysis starts the same week, not the same quarter, and the reforecast is built on numbers that tie.
FP&A Consulting ↗Pack, cadence, commentary
The management report becomes the board pack. Same numbers, same definitions, narrated for directors and investors instead of for the ledger.
Board Reporting ↗Three situations
where it fits.
Founder-led companies under $20M revenue — SaaS, e-commerce, professional services and other SMBs — that have outgrown the way the books are being kept today.
Three questions
we hear first.
If yours is not here, book a 30-minute intro call and we will talk it through.
Not necessarily. Many engagements keep the existing bookkeeper or local accountant for transaction processing and statutory filings, and we run the close, the controls, the reporting and the cash on top. Where there is nobody, we bring the capacity. Either way, one person owns the close calendar.
